Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Environmental Studies
Environmental Studies stresses the understanding of the connections between environmental
issues, the social and natural sciences, and the humanities.
About This Program
This interdisciplinary major is well suited for those who desire to be proficient in the natural and physical sciences, as well as have an awareness of the human dimensions of environmental issues, such as cultural, social, and political considerations and impacts.
Environmental Studies addresses environmental problems mainly from the perspective of their social causes, effects, and solutions in the realms of government, law, economics, business, education, design, environmental organizations, media, ethics, religion, literature and the arts, and individual citizens.
